Record numbers run in the Rightmove MK Marathon Weekend

It was a record-breaking weekend for the Rightmove MK Marathon Weekend 2019, with more people than ever running, and the biggest crowds the event has ever seen!

The whole weekend was a roaring success, with 10,000 runners coming from far and wide to take part in one (or more) of the five races across Sunday 5 and Monday 6 May.

Andy Hully Race Director and Founder - who ran in his own event for the first time ever this year - said: "This has absolutely been the best MK Marathon Weekend in our eight-year history! The atmosphere was electric all Bank Holiday weekend. I'm euphoric and want to say a huge well done to all the runners - you did it!"

The runners were joined by 700 volunteers, 150 race staff and crowds of around 20,000 who spent two days cheering, clapping and supporting the runners all the way to their spectacular finish at Stadium MK, home of the MK Dons. A whopping 1,800 man hours went into organising the event to make it all possible.

Runners and spectators came to Milton Keynes from around the world to get involved - the furthest being Australia, USA and Canada - boosting the local economy and putting MK firmly on the national and international map.

Andy added: "The organisation this year, from the quality of all the extras, to the impeccable level of detail on every element, positions us up there with some of the world's best marathons. I am certain that there is a very promising future ahead for the MK Marathon! The team we have around us has made this all possible so I'd like to thank them, along with every runner, spectator, volunteer, sponsor and event partner. You made this year's event amazing!"
